From those I have used:
pro for all: they do not require reaction cards to be playable, hence all of them amplify No Secrets From Magaji significantly more than most other cases
Club Zombie - only good if you lack a hunting ground and intercept at the same time with limited card slots as well. I have used it for Cesewayo Magaji wall deck, and I can hardly justify paying 4 pool for hunting ground and +1 intercept otherwise than playing a superstar blocker with blood management issues.
KRCG: would be useful if you weren't the one paying for giving pool. Other choices are better and you can't play them all due to pool costs...
Rumor Mill: prolly best of them all. Sometimes worht to add even if you are not using intercept. Competing predators losing blood and then loosing more can't be bad, right? For 1 pool? Perfect.
WMRH: risky, but good to add if Rumor ain't enough.
London: Pay 2 pool more for other minions to lose 1 less blood than using Rumor? How about no.
In the end, these locations are costly as hell, and you would not want to add a lot of them, because of steep costs.
Sabbat. If this vampire's bleed is successful, he laughs manicly and untaps.
If you're bleeding at stealth and you're not using Spying Mission, it can be very useful to give your grandprey intercept if your prey has bounce. Rumor Mill is surely the best one for this, and sometimes I'll go with Rumor Mill and WMRH. (If I'm the acting methuselah, I don't need to worry about whether or not the blocker will succeed.)
Sabbat. Animals, Wraiths and Zombies Molloy recruits or employs get an additional life.
I tend to prefer WMRH. It costs only 1 pool, and you'll usually won't use it if you know you may fail to block. Even if it's the case, it will end up with having spend the same amount of pool as if you had played a KRCG.
Using it twice and failing twice to block is pretty rare in a game.

There is also Anarch Free Press. I know it's not a "generic" media location but it's quite close.
That said, i recall Channel 10 to be seen more regularly than others.

The Anarch Free Press isn't a location at all, though I understand that it essentially functions as one. This is good for the deck playing it since, once it hits the table, virtually nothing can affect it. Getting off on a tangent, but there should be more ways to remove non-location masters on the table to get rid of things like The Coven.
Anyway, I play Wall Street the most as Eyes of Argus, Abbot, et al, do not help block undirected actions.

Club zombie helps set up parity shift
That being said, ive used them all, and at least once ive hadxto empty but not torp a predators minion so theyd have to hunt and i could use ch10 one an important action.
I use alot of media locations, and WMHR is the only one i wish i owned more of.
Krcg is the standard one for me, as i have lots of it, and it says minion, costs 2, and can help others in a pinch.
I never run these wih stealthbleed, because if i bleed for 7 and get bounced, i have a spying mission, can cancel any bounces, or my grandprey NEEDS bled for 7. It happens.
Rumor mill i probably run less than the others that cost 1, because of the blood burn. Wall street night i use when i know undirected actions will be an issue, such as some ally decks(ran wsn with dead hookers alot).
If you have room for multiples, club zombie is almost always not the one you want. Wmhr and krcg are probably my favorties is most situations.
Channel 10 has the most clever design
it has a drawback, but it's what other players have to worry about. if you can't use it, you can't use it, simple. meanwhile, your predator and prey have to plan their entire turns around which actions they want to do 1st, 2nd, etc.... what to bluff and which is the highest priority to get through.
it's probably why it seems to be the most popular. playing it yourself is a no-brainer, while your enemies have to use more mental energy. it's a psychological attack from another dimension.
